Steve Justice Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 No idea. It would be handy though. Any suggestions on what forum host to use and I can have a play around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanz25 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Anyone got Spotify's family plan? Would I be able to use it at uni away from home obviously whilst the rest of the family primarily use it in the house? Seems a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted September 4, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2016 What would be an appropriate amount to spend on a wedding gift for a sibling? Only got one and she's getting married soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted September 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 5, 2016 Usually these days people just tell everyone what they want for wedding gifts, whether it be a list of shit for their house or money towards a honeymoon. Has she not given you any clues? That would help to give you a starting point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra_gordo Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Random one this, hopefully someone can help. For my birthday next year we're going to do a banger car rally (basically buy cars for around £250 and drive Top Gear style from point A to point B with some challenges thrown in and a scavenger hunt list of things to pick up on the way).  The idea is to leave Sheffield and end up in York at the drag strip for a couple of runs and then off out for a few bevvies but I could do with some route suggestions. There's a pretty high chance that considering how shit these cars are going to be we'll never make it to York (wives on stand-by to pick us up) or they'll burst in to flame so I don't want to be attempting anything too ridiculous. I thought of going up the east coast to Whitby and then down to York but no idea if this is interesting enough. Would also appreciate some scavenger hunt item suggestions to collect on the way. Have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted September 5, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 5, 2016 Does anyone have any experience writing/editing company Wiki pages? You mean on Wikipedia proper? Yes. It's really hard to get them approved. Like, really hard. Â Get someone with an independent but preferably old account to make the changes. Tweak stuff on unrelated pages first to show you're not just there for self-promotion. Cite everything. Make sure there is mainstream coverage of the item to help your case (e.g. a link in an authoritative newspaper site). Â In fact, it's easier to get it done through Fiverr, oDesk or one of those sites. They have the chops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll raise the cost somewhat, especially if they don't have an MOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll raise the cost somewhat, especially if they don't have an MOT.  £250 car cost, tax, insurance and MOT on top. There seems to be enough cheap motors out there with MOT so that's a start, wife's cousin and a couple of my mates are mechanics so repairs are doable for relatively cheaply. There's a few companies that cover banger insurance so only £30 or so for a few days after which the cars will be flogged or scrapped anyway. All the costs are being split 4 ways (teams of 4) which should help keep costs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 That's good! I expect that's one of the challenges, keeping within budget. Excellent idea for a birthday thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
